13-Jul-2007 -- We visited the confluence 28N 37E on Friday, 13/7/2007 at 11 a.m. during our trek to follow the tracks of the abandoned Hijāz Railroad. We started tracking the railroad from the al-`Ulā region and ended at the Jordanian border.

This Confluence is on a mountain and reaching it was very difficult. We had to stop the car 2.5 km from the point. The mountain on which this point lies is one of the Birk Mountains, a sedimentary chain of mountains.

To the East of the point at about 12 km is the Green Valley (Wādiy al-Akhḍar) where the Hijāz Railroad navigates through parts of it. To the West of the point is Wādiy Nuqayb al-Bakra. Nearby is al-Buġāz Tunnel, which is the oldest tunnel in the Arabian Peninsula since it was dug 120 years ago for the railroad during the realm of the Ottoman Empire.
